Just thought it would be interesting to see possible answers. I'll post the correct one fairly soon.
"You have just made a kettle of boiling water to make a cup of tea. You want the tea to cool down to drinking temerature as quick as possible. Do you put the milk in before or after the tea?
The most important thing is reasoning.
Yus, Stephen got it right away.
Hint:
It is not to do with with convection currents.
The correct answer, beautifully phrased:

It depends how you like your tea (tea is absolutely rotten though), anyway.
Some people don't drink it with milk at all, so technically, it's at drinking temparature without putting milk in anyway, all it's doing is cooling it down faster so it reaches "Ugh it's cold and undrinkable" temparature sooner.

Wrong.
The kettle!
:P
The kettle!

Small.
The large one has the largest surface area exposed to the air, so will cool down quicker.

There there, I have a special question for you. You got to make five cups of tea, with a huge cup, a large cup, a medium cup, a small cup and a tiny cup. To get themall to cool down quickest, which do you fill first?
